America was founded on the principle that all men are created equal and endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, including the rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

America was the first and only nation to recognize that our rights come from God not from a king or from a government. Our rights cannot be taken away by man or by government. Our government cannot exist but by our consent.

We do not grant our consent to a government or to government leaders that do not defend our God-given rights to the hilt.

We're now locked in a battle in the defense of those rights against our own party and against our own party's presumptive nominee who has a solid history of trampling on these very same God-given unalienable rights that we are sworn to defend, and even against some of our own members.

The nation, the party, the conservative movement, the tea party, and even our beloved Free Republic is being ripped apart at the seams.

The only solution I can offer is that we must all continue to place our faith in God and not a certain political party and certainly not in a certain politician that has an anti-conservative, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda, gun grabbing, statist big government record and a nasty habit of lying for political gain.

If FR is to survive this turmoil so that we live to fight another day, we must have your support. If you feel the same way that I do that our God-given unalienable rights are worth defending, Life is worth defending, Liberty is worth defending, the Pursuit of Happiness is worth defending, that our constitution and all of our rights are worth restoring and defending, that a free America as it used to be is worth restoring and defending, and I know that you do or you would not be here, so please make a contribution today.

FR is supported solely by donations made by freedom loving people like you.

Hot and wet. We had a torrential downpour late this afternoon, but it only lasted about ten minutes or so. Unfortunately, it is now much more humid and oppressive than it was earlier today. It’s awful.
